Captain Theodore Byers Shultz USN (retired) beloved husband, father, and grandfather and brother passed away unexpectedly in Vienna, Virginia on Saturday, September 14, 2013.

He enlisted in the US Naval Reserve, concurrently attending Sullivan's Prep School in Washington DC before attending the United States Naval Academy, graduating in June 1956. He then went to sea as a surface war-fare officer in the Pacific assigned to the PICKAWAY (APA 222); LAMOURE COUNTY (LST 883) as Executive Officer; RENSHAW (DD 499); SOUTHERLAND (DD 743) as Executive Officer; DESRON Fifteen as CSO and Operations Officer; Flag Secretary to Commander Seventh Fleet (VADMs Hyland and Bringle off Viet Nam 2/67 to 7/69); and BARBEY (DE 1088) as Commissioning Captain.

Laurel, Sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Hugs and Blessings to you and your family at this difficult time. Patty Payne JMHS 76 Classmate and Friend
Ted lived such an admirable and full life. Those were fun times spent many years ago with his family in St. Croix and also meeting a number of Shultz family members in Denmark. Ted was an inspirational Godfather to our older son, George. Ted’s joyful outlook on life and his unceasing sly humor were terrific hallmarks. Mona and family … Jack … please accept our sincerest condolences for your loss. We will all miss Ted immensely. George Biles; Coronado, California
Ted and I shared our years together in the 20th company at the Naval Academy. I am saddened by his sudden loss. My condolences and prayers are with the family that he loved so dearly.
In the summer of 1967 and assigned for the summer in Yokosuka, Japan, Ted and Mona, welcomed me to the flagship, their home, and their lives. I will never forget their kindness, his leadership and encouragement, and help later in my career in Long Beach and Washington. He will always be the consummate Naval Officer to me.
Regrets and condolence from an old shipmate – PCO USS Cook while Ted was PCO USS Barbey, and later in Washington.
Dear Mona and family, I share your deep loss and grief and send the loving thoughts and prayers from the family of a USNA ’56 classmate (Vince Roper). Roberta Roper
Dear Mona and family, Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. I remember meeting Ted on your deck when he played host to some RE teachers back in the early 80s. Still remember when we were together at some auto talk at Koons with our new cars back in 2001. Sorry that we won’t be able to be at the Mass for Ted tomorrow. Mike and Peggy Kelly
Dear Mona and Family: Having just returned from travel and catching up on Washington Post reading, I was saddened to read about Teds unexpected passing. He was a good neighbor and I know you will miss him tremendously. R.I.P Taicho
